Cosplay of the Day: Struck By Lightning

I thought it was kind of cool that in Final Fantasy XIII they had a vaguely androgynous girl leading the game rather than a vaguely androgynous guy for once, but I am a bit annoyed that they reduced Lightning to a dress up doll for her “Lightning Returns” sequel game. Seriously, look at some of these costumes.

Cosplayer Neko-tin is certainly fully feminine, but she’s sticking with a more badass version of the character that isn’t more or less in a demonic string bikini. Her cosplay of Lightning is among the best I’ve seen, and you should check out other pics of her in costume below:
